Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr. Kalpesh Kavar, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

First of all I would like to congratulate you for heading in right direction - by changing food habits and started physical activity.

There is no need to start any medication to control your blood sugar levels if you can get it under control with lifestyle changes.

Fasting 76 and postprandial 108 or 115 (less than 140) is considered under control and job well done.

I would like to advice you to continue the same, no need to start medications, continue diet pattern and exercise BUT routinely MONITOR your blood sugar levels.

I hope this helps you. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided.
Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)

Take Care.
